Thanks for Part 3.
I see I made a good few silly mistakes with my chord chart.
Still trying to get my head around some of the options.
I even missed the first position C7
C7 = 1 3 5 7b = C E G Bb
Can any one explain why the C7 in the first position gets away without a G ?

Have you watched the lesson? Cause Neil explains it. The 5 is the least important note in a chord (or sometimes even the root, since a bassplayer might play that one), omitting it is usually just fine, doesnt really change the sound of a chord.

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who's up early! I think I have an answer, so I'll give it a shot. If I am wrong, I know someone will jump in to correct me.
First your C7 chord shape matches mine, but it should be marked with a Bb and not an A#. That's because you already have an A in the C scale--A B C D E F G A B C . . .
. . . So that 7th chord must be called a Bb because you can't repeat names of notes within a scale.
OK, that's the first thing.
As to your question . . .
I think Neil explained that when you're working with only three stings and you have to play a four note chord (as in a 7th chord), something has to give. So you would sacrifice the 5th note to add in the 7th, because the chord has otherwise been established with the 1 and the 3.
And if this is correct, than I own Neil a big virtual kiss because I got all this (and more) out of this lesson.

Ah Vanessa, you beat me to it. I figured you would, but is my explanation correct?

Vanessa and Jean
Oh, I remember Neil explaining that now you mention it !!! honest :S
My problem is lack of sleep and poor concentration again !!
I'm not up early..... you have to call it a day at some point..... but that's not been happening for me !!! :S
The chord diagram I posted wasn't mine as in my chart I posted earlier..... I took it from the internet.....
I wrote Bb, I hadn't spotted the A# in the picture... :silly:
Thanks for taking the time to post responses for me.
I need to post on a fresh head in future.
:S :S
